i am calling a procedure within a job.that procedure has 6 steps and the 4th step contains a condition.i want to execute that entire procedure (including the 4th step by nullifing that condition)...how..?

Hi,
you can nullify that cond parameter on 4th step using parameter parameter override
i am giving the solution
When u call the procedure, suppose the procedure name is 'proc1'
at that time code like following
//step1 exec proc=proc1,cond.step4=
do not assign any value during override
it'll nullify cond parameter on step4 particularly for this execution only

hi all,
plz help me out,
the query is ,ihave some 6 steps in a job,and iwant only first step to be executed and all the other steps to be not executed ,how can we do it using cond parametr .plz relpy soon.

hi ,

1)obviously first should run in JCL, add the null command after the first step , that's it nullifies all other steps in the JCl.,
2) using the cond. we can do this code COND=ONLY.
if the Step executes succesfully the above cond will work.if not code the below one

can we use restart parametr and cond parmter on the job card at the same time.

If you want to run only the first step except remaining other 5 steps ...
you need to code
COND=(0,LE) on your job card

If you want only 3 step skipping all other steps in your job ..code
COND=(0,LE),RESTART=STEP3
